Today the President spoke to a group of Veterans at the Tobyhanna Army Depot in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania where he discussed the War on Terror and counter the useless lying democrats who have been very busy doing all they can to undermine the War, The President and our National Security. The Former Amphibious Automobile crash test dummy, Ted Kennedy, was quick to release a statement condemning the President for speaking out against them on Veterans Day. White House Press Secretary, Scott McClellan, responded to the fat Drunk from Massachusetts with this statement:
"It is regrettable that Senator Kennedy has chosen Veteran's Day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war. It is also regrettable that Senator Kennedy has found more time to say negative things about President Bush then he ever did about Saddam Hussein. If America were to follow Senator Kennedy's foreign policy, Saddam Hussein would not only still be in power, he would be oppressing and occupying Kuwait."
Two thumbs up for the President and Scott McClellan
Their computation looks suspect to me.
Typically democrat.
The Former Amphibious Automobile crash test dummy, Ted Kennedy...
ROTFLOL!!!
I think I managed to vote 3 times. ;*)
I tried to vote from my other computer, but it crashed! Messed this one for a time as well. lol
I have missed hanging out here this week. Hopefully by Monday night or Tuesday, things will start getting back to normal.
BTW, if I didn't do this before...CONGRATULATIONS Ohio on the resounding defeat of issues 2-5! (if this is a repeat-I'm doubly happy for you)
We voted RIGHT in November, 2004, and we voted RIGHT again in November, 2005.
(Now if we could only get our Senators to get their acts together!)
One of them is up for re-el...er...dumping in '06, right? The Whiner, IIRC. Any prospects to run against him?
The important thing, though, is that we don't give the seat to a RAT.
DeWine at 90% with us and Voinovich at 80% are still WAAAAAY better than a RAT at 20%.
We have to be careful to keep the BIG picture in mind here.......
Understood!
I think if a good challenger can be found, it would not be a bad idea to put them up. Since we do not have term limits on Congress, it might make them fear for their jobs for a change. I could be wrong.
Yep! It's up to 33 now!
ping to vote on the link in post #319
Thanks for the ping I just vote for fifth star LOL!
I got question did somebody plant this bluebonnets was it Laura when they bought Crawford Crib or always been there
They planted the bluebonnets..........can't remember when. I don't know if it was when they first bought the ranch or more recently, but I know that Laura planted the wildflowers.
Running scared.......
Just for fun, but those Yahoo yahoos should stop using nice photos of our President to bash him with.
OHHH so Laura originally Martha Stewart here
Nice to see First Lady go Green thumb here LOL!
BTW I just vote on IE Explorer could't uploaded that picture on my regular screen yes I did five star reset
(But she does plant a mean bluebonnet).
Good! ;*)
Voted.... 40 now, 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Everyone,
I want to thank each of you for your prayers, for my hero brother-in-law. Got a call this morning that he was back in the hospital. We all spent the day and part of tonight there. Was home about an hour when the call came that he was gone. It's almost more than I can bear, but I know he's not in anymore pain. He fought as long as he could, but yesterday---finally said he was tired of fighting and wanted to go. He had not opened his eyes all day today and late tonight, as my sister lay in bed beside him and his children on cots next to him, he opened his eyes, looked at each of them, closed his eyes and entered the arms of Jesus.
Thank you again for your many prayers.
Not sure if it's appropriate on this forum to post this, but since I rarely post anywhere else and you all are the ones I asked to pray for John, I just to give you a small sample of the special person John was and another reason why we loved him so much. Below is an article that was in the paper when he was 32-33. He retired as a Lt. Colonel a little less than 6 years later at age 38 and started his own business. I retyped the article, because my scanner is hooked up to the other computer. You could NOT meet a finer person anywhere.
